The session included interactive discussions and Q&A segments that offered valuable insights from both defense officers and HMA facilitators. Renowned author R.V.G. Kulkarni shared leadership lessons from his book, “A Leader’s Tripping Point,” highlighting the rapid evolution of work culture in the post-COVID digital era.
Additionally, Ramesh Vemuganti and Kashyap Vemuganti presented ideas from their book, “Move Fast and Act Now,” a resourceful guide for today’s leadership challenges. The book focuses on tools to channelize youth toward effective management practices.
Mr. Alwala Devender Reddy, Secretary of HMA, said, “HMA’s 60-year journey exemplifies a dedicated mission to enhance the field of management and cultivate leadership. We are excited to announce the upcoming Leadership Conclave in February, where industry icons from across the country will address professionals in Hyderabad.”
